The actor and his Mr. Fu

Chapter 2 First Meeting

Half a month later, Xu Bai entered the group.

The new play was invested by Xu Bai's owner, Universal Entertainment, and everything went smoothly.The filming location is in Beijing, not too far from where Xu Bai lives. He doesn't have to pack his luggage or fly long distances, which is very convenient.

Today, I just followed Director Yao to familiarize myself with the filming location, Zhu Ziyi was busy with other things, so the only person accompanying him was his assistant Jiang Sheng.

As a result, when he arrived at the place, Xu Bai looked at the house number, it was a coincidence.

No. [-], North Street, is only one letter away from the name of their play. I have to say it is really fate.With a happy mood, Xu Bai stepped into the gate of the courtyard. What he saw was a small Western-style building combining Chinese and Western styles. The dark green creeper covered the entire north wall, and then turned around the corner to reach the front, meandering The vines just form the shape of flowers and leaves, dotted on the old but full of historical scars on the wall, showing elegance in wit.

With just one glance, Xu Bai knew that the building was exactly as described in the script.

Many begonias were planted in the small garden, and it happened to be the season of blooming, and the lawn was well-groomed.Looking in through the half-closed casement, all the furnishings in the room are still old-fashioned.

There are people coming and going in the small building, and the crew is hurrying to set up the scene.

The field manager spotted Xu Bai immediately and welcomed him in graciously.Yao Zhangzheng asked the staff to carefully place the items, lest they bump into each other.

It was only then that Xu Bai discovered that all the staff were wearing shoe covers, even Yao Zhang himself.

The field manager pointed to the ceiling and explained: "It's a request from above. This is an old building, it's valuable, and it's not easy to clean. There are so many people coming in and out every day, it's inevitable that people will step on it. Brother Xu, look there, every clause Sticking to it, you are not allowed to wear shoe covers, you are not allowed to litter anywhere, and handle all items with care, it is said that the owner of this house is not young, and the director borrowed it with great difficulty."

Xu Bai looked behind the door, and there was indeed a piece of paper stuck there, so he turned his head and said to his assistant, "Xiao Jiang, you can also find two pairs of shoe covers, we each have a pair."

The scene manager hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Xu, you don't need it, you are the leading actor, you are filming here every day, you come in and out, you don't need to wear shoe covers like us."

"It's different today, I haven't started shooting yet." Xu Bai smiled.

At this time, Yao Zhang came over, and the field manager didn't dare to gossip anymore.

However, unexpectedly, when Xu Bai was putting on makeup early the next morning, he accidentally heard gossip from several makeup artists.

In fact, Xu Bai really didn't mean to listen, it's because he is a monster with outstanding hearing ability.Those girls who were makeup artists gathered in the corner, gossiping and tidying up their things. They thought their voices were already very soft, but they still reached Xu Bai's ears without saying a word.

"Hey, do you know whose house this is? The big boss of Four Seas Entertainment!"

"It's Young Master Ye? I heard that the biggest investor in our film is Sihai Entertainment. Isn't that the owner of Best Actor Xu?"

"I see, Xu Yingdi and Ye Dashao are more on the right side, Gu Zhi can't do it..."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's not Young Master Ye."

"Isn't Young Master Ye? Who is that?"

"I don't know either, but didn't Young Master Ye say it himself last time? The boss of Sihai Entertainment is someone else, and his general manager is actually working for someone else."

"Let Young Master Ye work for him, the big boss behind this scene is so awesome..."

A few make-up artists then entered the guessing fun time, and they had already made up many rich stories in an instant.

But Xu Bai knew a little about what they said.Since last year, he has also bought some shares in Sihai Entertainment, which is considered as a benefit from the company, so now he can also get in touch with some decision-making news.

But as far as he knew, the real big boss had been abroad and had never been to the company.Except Young Master Ye, no one may know his name or what he looks like.

Gossip belongs to gossip, everything on the crew is still operating as usual.

In the story "No. 9 Beili Street", the protagonist Shen Qingshu is a young master who has read a lot of poetry and books.He is patriotic and passionate, and often publishes articles in newspapers. He also joins a Xiting Poetry Club composed of many progressive young people to share ways to save the country.

But everything changed one morning, and he died.

The memory stays in the moment when he fell from the roof of the building, blood spread from the back of his head, he lay in a pool of blood, watching a plane fly by in the blue sky.

He forgot how he fell from the top of the building, and also forgot all the things that happened some time before he fell, and when he opened his eyes, he returned to nine days ago.

Time flowed backwards, but he was the only one left in the empty building, and he could no longer leave No. [-], Beili Street.He was trapped here, and every day since then, people have come to visit.Among these people are friends of his father, members of Xiting Poetry Club, classmates of Shen Qingshu, neighbors, and so on.

Nine days, thirteen visitors, a small western-style building, and a gradually pieced together truth constitute the entire story of "No. [-], Beili Street".

The first scene was Xu Bai's one-man show, and it was about Shen Qingshu coming back from the dead and returning to the scene nine days ago.The whole clip lasts 3 minutes and has only one line.

Generally speaking, in order to get off to a good start, the director will arrange the first scene to be relatively simple and easy to pass.But this scene is not simple, Director Yao dragged Xu Bai to practice for a long time, and said "you are dead, you are dead" countless times before letting him go.If he didn't know Director Yao's temper, Xu Bai must have felt that he was trying to tease him.

"Xiao Xu, take it easy, this old guy like Yao Zhang likes to give you young people difficult problems. He took the first scene of his last film ten times before going through it. Don't feel pressured." Playing the role of teacher Shen Qingshu The only one who dared to bury Yao Zhang face to face was Weng Zhong, the oldest and most experienced actor in the group.

Xu Bai supported Weng Zhong to sit down beside him, smiled and said, "It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning. Then I'll go get ready, Mr. Weng."

"Go, go." Weng Zhong likes young people like Xu Bai very much. He is easy-going and doesn't have the airs of a big star. He always smiles at the corner of his mouth and looks a little loose, but after getting in touch with him, he finds that he is quite motivated and willing to endure hardships.

At this time, Du Zeyu, who played one of the members of the Poetry Club, ran over and humbly asked Weng Zhong for advice with the script.

Weng Zhong looked at the script that he had written a lot of annotations but the paper was still fresh and white, waved his hands casually, and said with a smile: "Let's read Xiao Xu's first, and you can read it too, it will be beneficial."

"Oh." Du Zeyu was a little unhappy, but he couldn't say anything more, so he stayed with Weng Zhong and waited for the filming to start.

"The first scene of the movie "No. 9 Beili Street", Action!"

In the warm afternoon, the sun shines through the vermilion windows.A dark green creeper pokes out a small bud from the window sill, and its shadow falls on the small round tea table by the window, contrasting with the crabapple flowers in the white porcelain vase.

There was also a young man sitting by the coffee table, half in the shadow and half in the sun.He was wearing a black tunic suit, buttoned up to the top one, his hand holding the book was well-knit, and every nail was trimmed cleanly.However, his crooked sitting posture slightly dilutes this rigor, and people can't help but look at his young face.

He was probably tired from reading, so he just fell asleep, with his head tilted, his entire face was exposed to the mild sunlight.

This is a very handsome face, with a smooth and full forehead exposed behind the hair.Because of falling asleep, the pair of sword-shaped eyebrows slightly retracted from the sharpness of the past, and the bridge of the straight nose became much softer.The color of his lips is light, as light as the sun, but the shape of his lips is very beautiful, with a hint of sexy.

The camera paused for a while on his face, suddenly, he seemed to have dreamed of something bad, and frowned.The dream was deepening, and his hand holding the book slowly tightened, as if he was struggling in the dream.

This struggle was short-lived, because in the next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily like a drowning man who had stopped breathing.

The blue thread-bound book was rolled into a volume by him.He lowered his head and took a sharp breath. No one could see his expression, but he could see his panic from his slightly trembling hands and shoulders.

Then, he saw his own reflection on the floor.

This is his home, and he's still in it.

He woke up suddenly, raised his head and looked around, his eyes hurriedly scanned the familiar scenery around him, and a ray of bewilderment quietly expanded in his eyes.

what happened to him?

The blood, the plane, and the falling wind all appeared in his mind one by one. He was a little confused about the current situation, so he stood up suddenly, feeling an urge to rush out.

But where is he going?

He forgot again.

The sunlight cast his shadow on the ground, he stood in the living room where the wind passed through, and murmured: "Am I... dead?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door: "Is Mr. Shen at home?"

"Okay! Pass!" Yao Zhang patted his thigh excitedly, and the lighting masters around him also smiled.It's always good to start off so well.

Xu Bai waved his hand and smiled, the aura that belonged to Shen Qingshu dissipated instantly.

Elder Weng nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head and asked Du Zeyu: "Little Du, what did you want to ask me just now?"

Du Zeyu: "...it's nothing, Mr. Weng."

The filming continued, Xu Bai had a lot of roles, and there was almost no chance to rest.Fortunately, there are basically no action scenes in this drama, and the lines are not too long. Xu Bai often sits next to Weng Lao to ask for advice, so the progress is relatively smooth.

It's just that the weather is not beautiful, and it rained suddenly in the afternoon of the second day.

"The weather forecast is fucking lying to me!" Yao Zhang ran into the house cursing, throwing the script angrily.Only after the fall did he realize that this was someone else's antique house, and he would not be able to afford compensation if the floor was smashed through, so he quickly picked up the script again.

As a last resort, Yao Zhang had to shoot the indoor scenes first.

But after a while, there was lightning and thunder outside, and a flash of lightning flashed through his lens for a while. The light God gave him was really not good.

"No more filming, no more filming, let's finish work early today! Pack up everything, don't bump into each other!" Yao Zhang yelled with a loudspeaker.

Xu Bai was not in a hurry to leave, he liked to stay at the shooting scene to feel the atmosphere, which could help him better assume the role.And it happened that everyone finished work early today, and as soon as people left, the building was empty, and the sense of vicissitudes and interesting ancient rhymes covered by human voices rushed out from every corner of the small western-style building.

After saying hello to Yao Zhang, Xu Bai didn't take off his make-up or change his clothes, and walked slowly in the building dressed as Shen Qingshu.

He imagined that he was Shen Qingshu, who would sit by the window in the afternoon, basking in the sun and reading a book.

He would make a cup of coffee on such a rainy day, lean at the door to watch the crabapple flowers in the light rain, and think about the war in the distance.

He would write quickly in his study, and the barrel of the pen was his gun.

Soon, Yao Zhang sent everyone else away, and no one bothered Xu Bai anymore.The hero works so hard, Yao Zhang can only be happy.

Jiang Sheng also moved a pony seat and sat at the gate, waiting for Xu Bai while playing with his mobile phone.Because he kept his head down, he didn't see Xu Bai staggering out of the building by himself after the rain stopped.

Xu Bai saw a side door on the courtyard wall, it was covered by crabapple flowers, and there were many green vines hanging on it.It was a small iron door, and the brass lock on the door was rusted, and it looked like it hadn't been used for many years.

Behind the iron gate is... the next door?

The relationship between these two families should have been quite good before, but they still opened a door here, and I don't know who lives next door.After thinking about it for a while, Xu Bai felt that he was a bit stupid, so he turned and left again.

However, the moment he turned around, there was a "creaking" door opening sound behind him.It was like a cry made by the iron gate in the long river of time. The dead leaves on the gate were shaken off, and the dust also seeped into the soil with drops of rain, implying a new beginning.

Xu Bai turned his head back in surprise, his eyes fell on the person who walked in, and he was stunned.

This is a strange man, about thirty years old, with phoenix eyes, thin lips, slightly long but soft and shiny hair.In his right hand is carrying a leather suitcase with a sense of age, in the crook of his left arm is an iron-gray windbreaker, and he is wearing a very elegant three-piece suit, with a pen in his chest pocket and a flat neckline Not a single wrinkle.

He also wore a pair of rimless glasses with thin silver chains swinging gracefully from their frames.

Yes, elegant.

This is how he feels, calm and elegant, making people easily think of the moon at night.That pair of glasses is Yun Zheyue, hiding behind his eyes that seem to have many stories.

But he was cold, and his expression was cold. The white hand with sharp knuckles that pushed the door had the beauty and coldness of bone china.

Such a dress, in such an old house, can easily blur the concept of time.

"Can you let me go? You're blocking me." He was a little taller than Xu Bai, and when he looked down at him, the silver chain was shaking slightly, giving off a blurred luster in the sunny sunshine after the rain.

Xu Bai's mind fluctuated slightly at that moment, this kind of fluctuation has nothing to do with anything else, but a yearning for beauty that no matter whether it is a human or a demon.At this moment, Xu Bai believed that there is a kind of person in this world who doesn't judge his facial features, but can make you dazzled by his temperament at first sight.
